Azazello1313 Posted September 10, 2012 Share Posted September 10, 2012 ...bronco billy's monday morning analysis of peyton manning's performance. dude was on point last night. I didn't see any negative signs at all in his performance. and the defense looks much improved. I'd only give them a B on the night, because they pretty much sucked on 3rd down. penalties, soft coverage and/or a weak 3rd down pass rush kept them on the field time after time. but as a whole, they looked like a very formidable unit. they were throwing at tracy porter a lot and he was making plays all over the field....the pick-six was just the cherry on top of a huge game for him. wolfe looked good, adams made some plays, von miller picked up where he left off. hard not to be a little bit excited about this team's chances.

Croe Posted September 10, 2012 Share Posted September 10, 2012 I agree, I think they are going to do well this year. Manning is going to make D Thomas, Eric Decker, and Jacob Tamme fantasy startable almost every week. I think their running game will compliment the offense well. And man, it was nice to see Peyton take charge of the field again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tazinib1 Posted September 10, 2012 Share Posted September 10, 2012 The fact that the Steelers had the ball all but 36 seconds of the 3rd quarter should give you cause for concern. But over-all, I was very impressed with how Peyton commanded the no-huddle through-out the night. They did a little comparison on his velocity on a Tamme throw and his velocity was 2 mph off from when the 2 were hooking up in Indy. Not bad at all I say and he still is not 100%. The 3 sacks in a row to end the game was pretty impressive as well. The Chargers need a win tonight...the AFC West looks like its not longer the cream puff conference.

Rileyrott Posted September 10, 2012 Share Posted September 10, 2012 You gotta love the way Peyton was toying with Pitt's D (and especially Troy) in the red zone on one of their drives. Also, once Fox took the handcuffs off in the 2nd quarter, Peyton went on a 12 play, 80 yard no-huddle drive. Very impressive. The defense has improved, but there was blown coverage at times that Ben sometimes didn't exploit (looking at you Joe Mays). Porter is finally a quality bookend to Champ we haven't seen the likes of since Darrent Williams. Excited, YES!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Azazello1313 Posted September 10, 2012 Author Share Posted September 10, 2012 The fact that the Steelers had the ball all but 36 seconds of the 3rd quarter should give you cause for concern. meh. they had a long field goal drive. then we had a two play TD drive. I'll take the 7 over a few more minutes of TOP. it was cause for concern during the game, because the D was on the field a LOT in the second half and you see teams wear down when that is the case. but the D bowed up when they had to, so kudos to them.

The Broncos scored during the 36 seconds they had the ball, so I wouldn't be too concerned. If they had gone 3 and out, maybe. While time of possession is important, and your defense can get tired if it on the field too long, I doubt many couches worry about that in cases where they get a quick offensive TD. You think they tell the offense "hey don't score a TD so fast..." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Furd Posted September 10, 2012 Share Posted September 10, 2012 Manning looked better than I thought that he would. What suprised me a bit more was Pittsburgh's defense. Their pash rush was poor and the Denver WRs were so open. That's a pretty good situation for a QB to be in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So you are both saying you are not concerned at all that the defense was on the field for almost an entire quarter because you scored a TD in the 36 seconds you had the ball. Ok, lets do that all year and see how far that will get you. You both missed the point by the size of a semi. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yep, at one point in that drive they'd already taken 5 minutes off the clock and gained all of 37 yards or something. Very misleading and nowhere near the same as one of those back-breaking, yardage-and-time-eating drives that make TOP a meaningful stat.

Caveman_Nick Posted September 10, 2012 Share Posted September 10, 2012 Playing in his first game in....something like 85 weeks...I thought Manning looked really good. I think he has to solve whatever is causing him to throw so many ducks, but his reading of the defense and overall command of the offense was impressive.

Ok, lets do that all year and see how far that will get you. You both missed the point by the size of a semi. Well, I guess I missed by as much. Here's a little secret for you, being on the field is being on the field. Just because the clock is running, doesn't mean the D is getting any more tired than they'd be if they chasing around WRs and the offense was killing the clock with incompletions or running out of bounds. The only difference is that it cuts into your O's chances. However, that was partially Denver's fault because they scored too damned fast. If they had a more methodic drive, now you're looking at something like 10 minutes to 5 minutes which, while something that would be a concern if it happened each and every quarter, is not worthing getting freaked out about once.

Ok, lets do that all year and see how far that will get you. You both missed the point by the size of a semi. It seems we're not the only ones missing the point, so maybe its the size of a matchbox semi? Generally losing TOP battle is bad. But you do realize it also isn't common for a team to come out and score in 36 seconds. That is why I said if DEN had gone 3 & out I'd be more concerned, but they scored a quick TD which isn't a bad thing. PIT had a long drive which wasn't going anywhere quick, as detlef pointed out. Not sure what the big concern is, do you think that the 3rd quarter last night was somehow an indication of a problem the Broncos will have regularly regarding TOP?

matt770 Posted September 10, 2012 Share Posted September 10, 2012 It was like Peyton didn't miss any time at all. So much fun to watch him in command again. Loved when he tried to draw the 12-men penalty with the quick snap, but the officials blew the call (surprise). The Thomas TD with the bunch formation, caravan of blockers and then him just blazing by everyone was downright football porn. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

detlef Posted September 10, 2012 Share Posted September 10, 2012 (edited) Ugh Then really, what's your point? Denver scored on its final four drives that didn't include taking a knee. The last two being methodical 5 minute types. After Pittsburgh dominated the clock in the 3rd, Denver's D was so gassed that they proceeded to hold Pitt to a couple of 3 play drives and one 4 play drive, resulting in a punt, pick, and turnover on downs. So, please, break it down for me. Explain what the big deal is. ETA: And in full disclosure, I was among those who were very skeptical about Manning this year. And, though it's just one game, I'm getting prepared to take it all back. Edited September 10, 2012 by detlef Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tazinib1 Posted September 10, 2012 Share Posted September 10, 2012 Maybe that's why they missed it? Again, my post game commentary is severely debilitated without my mojo juice. It's a work in progress. Some say I'm more coherent. Well, I would disagree with that. If this post is any indication then I could have a long year ahead of me. Or this could just be an anomaly...like the 3rd quarter of a football game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
